Okay, I'll install a Trickstuff C22 flat mount with Magura MT8 brake levers, ordered already. Fortunately, it was in stock in a German webshop. :)

I don't know whether anyone is interested but I've installed my spare wheelset (~1260g) instead of the stock DT Swiss XRC1200 (1500g+), changed the stock integrated stem+handlebar to a 70mm Newmen SL + Darimo 740mm handlebar, seatpost is a 400mm Darimo T1 Loop, saddle is MCFK.
The stock, creaking CeramicSpeed Bottom Bracket is serviced now (used isopropyl alcohol + high pressure air to clean the dirt out, also added CS' UFO grease), seems to be working fine again, which is really good news! :D
Sram Eagle AXS controller will be changed to Leaf Components' special shifters + SRAM wireless blips.

If you're ever in the market for a brake upgrade:

Just saw on PinkBike that you can actually fit a headset bearing around a TrickStuff Piccola lever. Meaning, you can completely remove/install a headset bearing without having to bleed your brakes.
Good to know, thanks for sharing! Not many of us own Piccola brakes though but this info can be definitely helpful.
In the meantime, I've found the article as well: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/bike-chec ... sione.html
"Since the Trickstuff Piccola Carbon brake levers actually fit through the headset bearings and head tube, this means that you can actually remove and replace the headset without having to bleed the brakes."
Tried it and works, as you can see! :) You only need to loose the banjo a little bit and the upper headset bearing can be removed easily.

If any of you would like to change the rear brake, I've installed a quite unique setup: Trickstuff C22 brake caliper with a Magura MT8 Carbon lever. I used Trickstuff Beta hose.
I cannot measure the final weight (internal cable routing 'rules'...(facepalm)), however, it is somewhere in the range of 175-185g range.

Started like this, Trickstuff banjo installed to the hose here, already:

...from an another angle:

Bionöl is its way, I filled the empty Trickstuff Beta hose here, initially:

...after filled the hose, closed it:

Some useful information: after connected the Beta hose to the Magura MT8 lever, I used the regular Magura method to fill the system, using Trickstuff Bionöl. Super simple and fast method.
Might be also useful: Beta hose has a slightly wider diameter than Magura's hose, therefore, fitting Magura's olive and stuff might be a bit more difficult - but works! ;)

Everything is done, brake caliper aligned here (installed the rear wheel temporarity), front brake lever adjusted also. Works like a charm!

Might be also interesting, however not connected to brake installation by any means. I use this super simple and cheap method to avoid link damage which can be caused by little rocks coming to the gap between the frame and rear triangle. ;)

Perfect. Thanks.

I’m in the process of converting my Cervelo ZFS-5 from their stock internal routing solution to the Acros centering ring. Already have the upper 42 ID/52 top bearing, centering ring and a Chris King lower bearing.

Wanted to make sure the Piccola lever cleared a 42mm ID bearing.

After a full service on my MY2023 Lux CFR WC, I have upgraded a few things.
- brakes changed: original SRAM Level ULT carbons -> Magura MT8 Carbon brakes, rear caliper changed to Trickstuff C22. Lever clamp screws changed to titanium
- original integrated Canyon carbon handlebar changed to 740mm Darimo (109g) + CaneCreek stem (109g also). Grips are Extralite grips (13g with end caps)
- original RockShox remote lockout changed to DT Swiss (28g)
- original Selle Italia SLR KC saddle changed to Mcfk (82g)
- Canyon carbon seatpost (184g) changed to Darimo T1 loop 400mm (98g)
- original Canyon rear axle (56g) changed to anodized blue Hope (43g) + UDH screw changed to anodized blue Hope
- valves changed to WolfTooth
- XRC1200 wheelset (~1510-1550g maybe?) exchanged with my other XC bike's set: now it's an r2-built Duke SLS4+DT240 EXP+Sapim CX-Ray spokes (1263g)

Bike is 9.16 kg (~20,19 lbs) with pedals + bottle cage. Not a world record at all, I know. But I plan to race it on some rough maratons this year. ;)
